For nearly a century, two families an ocean apart have captured the world’s collective imagination: the British Windsors and the American Kennedys. Much ink has been spilled on their individual trysts, tragedies and triumphs over the years, but no one has examined their powerful and intertwined legacies. Until now. In THE KENNEDYS AND THE WINDSORS, acclaimed journalist Caroline Hallemann unearths the story of two iconic families whose lives, ambitions and respective reigns have mirrored each other in surprising ways. She reveals how an upstart Irish Catholic family with little access into elite New England society came to host dinner parties for a King and Queen and forge an eventual path to the White House. In the process, she draws out some startling parallels between the two families.
